Why is tissue biopsy important?

Biopsy is essential for early diagnosis of any abnormality and to ensure appropriate treatment. Detecting potentially serious lesions, such as oral cancer, early through early diagnosis can be crucial to avoid adverse effects and major complications.

Soft Tissue Biopsy

Soft tissue biopsy is performed on areas such as the gums, mucosa of the mouth, lips or tongue. It is used to identify the cause of visible or persistent alterations such as:

  • Non-healing sores or ulcers.
  • Unusual swellings or masses.
  • Changes in color or texture of the gums, tongue or cheeks.
  • Lesions suspicious for oral cancer.

Hard Tissue Biopsy

Hard tissue biopsy involves the removal of a bone sample, usually from the maxilla or mandible. This procedure is indicated in cases where the following are observed:

  • Structural changes in the maxillary bones.
  • Suspicious bone lesions, cysts or tumors.
  • Abnormalities detected in radiographs or 3D tomography.

Soft and Hard Tissue Biopsy Process

1 Accurate and early diagnosis
Biopsy makes it possible to accurately identify any abnormalities in the tissues. This is key to early diagnosis of diseases such as oral cancer, which greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.
2 Prevention of major complications
Detecting potentially serious lesions before they progress prevents more serious complications. By addressing these anomalies in early stages, adverse effects can be reduced and the patient's quality of life improved.
3 Appropriate and personalized treatment
By obtaining an accurate diagnosis through biopsy, it is possible to ensure that the treatment is the most appropriate for the specific case. This optimizes the chances of success and allows for a more effective and less invasive approach.
4 Increased survival rate
Early diagnosis by biopsy is crucial for the early detection of serious diseases such as oral cancer. This can be decisive for initiating treatment in early stages, thus improving the patient's survival rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for a biopsy in the mouth to heal?

Healing is usually rapid. If sutures are used, they are usually resorbable and disappear on their own within 5 to 10 days.

What are dental soft tissues?

These are the non-bony structures within the oral cavity, such as the gums, tongue, lips, palate, cheeks and floor of the tongue. They represent the majority of the oral tissues.

How is a dental biopsy performed?

The procedure consists of anesthetizing the area, removing a small piece of the tissue that appears abnormal and sending it to the laboratory for analysis. In some cases, sutures are placed to close the wound.

How long does it take for the mouth to heal after a biopsy?

The initial swelling disappears in about a week. In rare cases, there may be temporary alterations in sensation, especially if the biopsy was on the lip, but these usually resolve in a few weeks.

Is a mouth biopsy painful?

Thanks to local anesthesia, the procedure is painless. However, after the biopsy, there may be mild discomfort or swelling that is easily managed with painkillers recommended by the dentist.
